On flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv yesterday (September 30), an emergency occurred when the co-pilot tried to hijack the plane and crashed the plane. Fortunately, the incident ended safely. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pointed out today (1st) that the co-pilot is known to have been baptized by Islamic radical ideas, but it is not yet possible to determine whether this incident is related to Iran.

"Reuters" reported that Netanyahu revealed in an interview with "Fox News": "We know that he (the first officer) has been indoctrinated into radical Islamic ideas."

Netanyahu went on to say that he would confirm in the next few days whether the co-pilot had ties to Iran. "I think it's too early to say whether he has ties to Iran or anyone else."

Natanyahu added that it was clear that the co-pilot was suicidal. "If you combine that with the Islamic leanings that I just mentioned, and the radicalization found in his background, I think that gives us a pretty clear clue. Again, I haven't reached a final conclusion yet, but this is the indication that we have now."
